What is involved in the cost of Liposuction?

It is important for patients to understand what is involved in a liposuction procedure, including its benefits as well as potential risks. The total cost of a liposuction procedure in Australia are usually inclusive of;

Surgeon fees

Theatre and hospital fees

Aneasthetist fees

Post-operative Care

Post-operative Garments

Types of Liposuction

Chelsea Cosmetics are well experienced in performing liposuction for a wide range of patients. It is important to note that there are different types of liposuction which produce a different level of result and associated cost. The three main types of liposuction are:

Tumescent technique

Laser

Ultrasound

The procedure involves fat being removed via the use of medical instruments called cannulas which use suction to remove the unwanted fat. The fat is softened and removed via the cannula without damaging other tissue.

How to determine your Liposuction cost

As mentioned above the most exact way to determine the cost of your specific liposuction procedure is via a free consultation with the experts at Chelsea Cosmetics in Melbourne. For a rough estimation prior to any further decision, you will need to take into account the number of areas you feel you need to include in the procedure.

The complexity and time required to perform the procedure will be determined during your consultation. This is a crucial part of the process as our surgeons will examine and assess the areas you feel need attention, and then provide you a specific customised quote.

It is safe to assume however, that any liposuction procedure will start from around $3000.

How much fat can be removed?

It may sound surprising, but fat doesn’t actually weigh that much so it cannot be measured in kilos. Instead, we use millilitres and litres with around two and a half to three litres being the safe amount of fat to be safely removed in any one day. This is, however, classed as a large amount and would be a costly procedure requiring an overnight stay.

Liposuction should never be considered as a way to reduce your overall weight, instead it should be viewed as a way to change your shape.

A liposuction procedure involves fat being removed via the use of medical instruments called cannulas which use suction to remove the unwanted fat.

Why have liposuction in Australia as opposed to overseas?

It is important to note that cheaper cosmetic procedures offered overseas come with increased risks. There can be more health complications or risk of infection by getting this work done overseas.

These procedures, as with any medical procedure, involves an element of risk that can cause lifelong problems and further expense if not performed correctly under safe conditions.

It is vital to ensure that your surgeon has the correct qualifications with only medical personnel brokering your surgery.

Most Popular FAQs

Liposuction is not considered to be painful for the majority of patients; however everyone has a different level of tolerance. If required, you can be given a mild sedation by an anaesthetist, or have the area to be operated on numbed with a local anaesthetic. Following the procedure, there may be discomfort for 24 hours which can be reduced with medication.

Complications are uncommon, and the risks are low; however there is a level of risk involved with any medical procedure. The possible risks can include things like infection, bleeding or bruising, nerve injury, and in rare cases, superficial thrombophlebitis. We will of course, discuss any possible associated risks during your consultation.
